As I said, it WOULD be incredible if the feature wasn't implemented.
Didn't mean anything more than that.

Meanwhile, I've done some more tests, and it seems that the program at
fault is Firefox 3 (99% of the time I copy-and-paste graphics from
Internet sources). Pasting from Internet Explorer (which I never use)
or other programs seems to work. However, it is quite interesting that
graphics copied from Firefox 3 gets pasted OK in programs like Word,
IrfanView, MS Works etc. - only in PgS this doesn't work and behaves
as reported above.

PgS 5.0.4.4, Windows Vista SP1.
The same problem in PgS 5.0.2.10 and 5.0.4.17a.

Daniel

I've confirmed that FireFox 3 doesn't work here (while FF2 does). Apparently
the folks who write it changed how it uses the clipboard...

BTW: this change adversely affects other software. A quick google,
http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox3;3+clipboard, found reports of
problems.

Ok, I'll take a look and see what I can find out. Thanks for the report!

Same here, Deron. FF3 won't paste in PgS Doze 5.0.4.4 Pro, but will
paste into Open Office.
